Saturday night.

Manu Ginobili tallied 24 points, Tim Duncan supplied 11 points and 10 rebounds
and Kawhi Leonard added 17 points, seven boards and four assists for the
Spurs, who have won six straight and nine of their last 10.

"We picked our defense up and got a little bit more physical in the second
half," San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich said. "We finally got it done and
I'm proud of them for that."

Tobias Harris provided 23 points and eight rebounds, while Nik Vucevic
recorded 19 points and 13 rebounds for Orlando, which has dropped five of its

have done a better job," Vucevic said.

After Harris' layup to begin the fourth got the Magic within 88-85, San
Antonio ripped off seven straight points to open up its first double-digit

free throws, Parker sunk two from the line and then banked in a runner to push
the spread back to 109-99 with 4:15 to go.
